Hong Kong racing returns to the bright lights of Happy Valley on Wednesday evening, with a highly competitive eight-race program set for decision. The rail is in the A position, and with only light showers forecast in the lead-up, participants should be racing on a Good 4 surface throughout the night. The action is scheduled to get underway at 7:10pm local time.
Best Bet at Happy Valley: Packing Power
Packing Power produced a strong debut win at this course and distance on June 5. The son of Toronado was able to absorb early pressure before bolting clear to score by 1.5 lengths under Zac Purton. Hong Kong’s leading hoop elects to stick aboard the progressive four-year-old gelding, and provided he can dictate terms up on speed once again, Packing Power will prove hard to get by first-up as he sets his sights on tougher future assignments.

Next Best at Happy Valley: Less Is More
Less Is More was unplaced across five starts at Sha Tin last preparation, but the gelding’s fortunes could change on his first look at Happy Valley. The five-year-old caught the eye in a trial on the all-weather circuit at Sha Tin on August 30, looming large under a strong hold from Matthew Poon. Andrea Atzeni gets legged aboard on race-day, and with barrier four offering an economical run in transit, Less Is More should be charging down the centre of the course.

Best Value at Happy Valley: Invincible Missile
Invincible Missile hasn’t tasted success since April 2023 and finds himself at the top of Class 5 company for only the second time. The nine-year-old failed to make an impression last season but always seems to do his best work at this course, with four of six victories coming at Happy Valley. This is clearly the easiest task of his 73-start career, and with barrier one to aid him on his way, the journeyman should get every opportunity to add a seventh win to the resume.
